http://mmajunkie.comMINNEAPOLIS – Justin Edwards has a signature career victory, and it came in remarkably swift fashion for “Fast Eddie.”

Facing his biggest-name opponent to date, the welterweight locked on an arm-in guillotine choke and choked unconscious veteran Josh Neer.

The UFC on FX 5 welterweight contest, which took place Friday at Minneapolis’ Target Center, aired on FX following preliminary bouts on FUEL TV.

With the fighters in the clinch, Edwards locked on the choke, left his feet, wrapped the body and torqued the choke. Neer initially stood upright as he tried to break free of the hold, but he ultimately fell to his knees after losing consciousness.

The upset win came just 45 seconds into the fight.

“I thought it was going to be a very exciting fight, and I thought I was going to push the pace,” said Edwards, who appeared in a bit of shock. “I didn’t think it’d be over so early, but I wanted the challenge of Josh Neer, and I got it, and I appreciate the UFC for giving me the opportunity.”

Edwards hinted that he was prepared for the exact scenario.

“I know he baits people for guillotines and defends them well, but he never faced mine,” Edwards said.

Edwards (8-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), an Ohio-based fighter who trains jiu-jitsu with Jorge Gurgel, has evened up his UFC record since his stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 13.” Neer (33-12-1 MMA, 6-8 UFC), meanwhile, has dropped two straight since a six-fight win streak that helped him get back into the octagon.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
